The St Anthony’s Road outfit have put together two victories in a row and head to Lymm this weekend full of confidence.

Deventer took extra delight from Loo’s victory at Penrith earlier in the month after his troops toiled on the road last season.

But the South African believes that the club’s first campaign in National League Three North has left Waterloo fearing little this time round.

“I’m a lot more pleased at this stage this year than I was last,” said Deventer.

“We had a bit of slow start, going close twice and not just having enough to sneak over thew line, but went and got a win at Penrith.

“We struggled last year with our away form but we’ve made a positive start on that front this season and will hope to continue that this weekend.

“The experience we have gained from being a year older in this league, as well as the improvements we’ve made in the squad, are helping us.

“I’m pleased with where we are after four games.

“We’ve made it clear we’re not chasing promotion and have been sensible to say we are targeting a mid-table finish.

“Everything in this league is tough and this weekend will be no different. Lymm have two from four as well but I believe, have had an easier start than we have. If we shut them down and stop them having the freedom to play then I’m hopeful of getting the points.”
